The more I come to terms with my many flaws, the more I understand that I should forgive those who offend me, knowing that their offensive behaviour mirrors my own ego driven misunderstandings...assisting me appreciate that I am as imperfect as the next human person.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance, and perseverance must finish its work in order for you to be mature and complete." (James 1:2-4).
God understands very well the circumstances of each, and every human person sufficiently not to judge us...on the contrary, Our Father invites each of us to remain faithful to His Word, to follow Him until we draw our last breath...there being an awareness that He is the creator of our life, when we choose to accept His hand of friendship.
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial; for once he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."~ James 1:12
